The weather on Critical Tuesday

Today is a nervous day for the Democratic president candidates here in the US. It's "Critical Tuesday" as they've stated to call the day. The day that might finally determine who will win the democrats' raze - Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. It's an amazing race. From a communication perspective it's really interesting to follow the campaigns and see how they are moving around each other like boxers, with speeches, ads, photo ops and visits to symbolic places. The other day Clinton release and ad, claiming she, being more experienced would be best to pick up the phone in the White House if something would happen in the world (see it here) only to have Obama response with almost the exact ad (see it here), claiming he has a better record.

Four states are voting today, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont. Interestingly enough, the weather forecast is always important on election days here. If it's bad weather - less people vote. Good weather - alas, more people vote. Today is a really bad voting day in Ohio with snow storm warnings and freezing rain - but clear weather is expected is the state with most delegates; Texas.

This is where I live. Home. California might be almost the same size (and shape) as Sweden, but 35 millions call California home just like me. It's called the "Golden State". 188 sunny days a year and no snow shovels in sight.

This is where I grew up. 8506 km from California. Europe's fourth largest country in size, but tiny in population. Only 9 million of us. Meeting a Swede should probably be considered being unique! A part of my heart will always be here.
